At St Michael’s, we deliver PSHE through the SCARF framework—Safety, Caring, Achievement, Resilience, and Friendship—fostering positive values and essential life skills in an engaging and meaningful way.

Our curriculum, tailored to different age groups, helps children understand their emotions, build healthy relationships, and make responsible choices through interactive lessons, discussions, role-play, and group work on topics such as friendships, respecting differences, staying safe, and personal responsibility. In Key Stage 1, children gain foundational social skills, confidence, and resilience, while in Key Stage 2, they explore complex issues like teamwork, diversity, managing emotions, and online safety, building the critical thinking and decision-making skills needed to thrive.

We are committed to creating a safe, supportive environment where children develop empathy, teamwork, and resilience, growing into thoughtful, capable individuals ready for the future.

By embedding PSHE throughout school life and providing ongoing staff training, we ensure every child feels valued, empowered, and prepared to succeed.
